ABSTRACT
The “I” of “me” and its psychological selves are experiences of cognitions about the NS. Because they are processed in the anterior areas of the brain, they are experienced differently than sensory information is; making it more difficult to categorize. In this theory, the “I” operates like a cursor on a computer monitor. It locates where it is in relation to the work that is occurring in it. It informs the brain where the person (see Chapter 8) is in any relationship. It is the label of a neurological system. The psychological selves are experiences of cognitions about the NS in the various relationships in which it engaged. The selves operate congruently in relationships that call for different emotional reactions. The emotional reactions to parents are different than those needed in a criminal trial. As a nonsensory process, emotional reactions are experienced differently than the experience of a physical thing, like the NS.
